Combined we have a nice little package of batteries that can be completely removed with no Ill affects and have the ability to swap batteries for those who just want to carry multiple small packs for a lightweight jump board
I think this is a great solution for those who want a non invasive mount that will leave the deck pristine and requires no modifications. Its completely modular so you can use simple lipos, a battery box filled with lithium ion cells, heck, even an @torqueboards 12s4p AND lipos if you have some strange configuration like me.
Gonna do some more testing and get some better photos throughout the week. Let me know if you have any interest in this or if you have any more detailed questions. Currently tested on a Trampa Carver and MBS Dylan Warren pro.
Looks nice! My solution was to move my battery and electronics off the board into my backpack. Less weight on the board was the main aim, but obviously it’s also much less prone to damage from water and vibration.
All the straps/materials are military grade. The guy who made this makes backpacks and pouches for the the military.
The top sheet is ridiculous strong.
He cut the fabric and had me try to RIP the cut further… wasn’t gonna happen.
This thing is strong.
Looks good
My question is, how would that work with only two lipos? The straps on the side seem to be made for the current double stack. If you would go with 2x6s 5Ah packs for example the straps would need to be shorter or have velcro everywhere, no?
One thing I would like to see as well, is a small 1cm strip of velcro here
One more thing that came to my head just now.
Maybe to make a small pocket on the part which flip around the deck. Would be great to be able to slip in some foam to protect the packs from the impact when jumping.
More Velcro on the top in line with the straps to secure them when there’s a thin pack will be a good implementation as well as a thin piece for lipos alarm.
If straps go over the top you can just use the straps with valcro for the lipo alarm than.
If you can get some damping solution build in it would be great.
Dampening would be easy. They have lots of padding for backpacks and straps.
Keep in mind I’m pretty sure most people would use this to secure a box with a battery in it. And that would have padding.
Joe’s just a bad ass mad max mother f**ker
I don’t worry about damping material. I just don’t want it to look ugly and stuff it inbetween the pack and deck if there is an easy solution to just make a small pocket for damping material
@Saturn_Corp Hey Joe, this is really interesting stuff !!! Will there be different sizes (for different decks width) ? And do you know the estimated price and availability date ?
To fit wider setups, these straps need to be lengthened an inch or two, or better yet; be adjustable.
velcro here and on the opposite side needs to be added to secure different strap lengths. Slightly longer straps would be a nice addition too for taller packs, my double stack is already fairly tall imo.
It held up well over the trip and was very easy to remove the batteries for shipping.
But I first plan to use this velcro stuff on a street build, not a MTB.
